About webcomic # 6:
In the sixth issue of Blood of the Empire, Teneb Kel fights for his life as Lenico Colony Blue collapses around him. The Emperor's apprentice has proven vastly more powerful than anyone realized--it will take all Teneb's skills and resources to survive, let alone complete his mission. But can he rely on his closest ally in his moment of need, or will he face betrayal?

About the webcomic:
Teneb Kel, a fiercely clever young man apprenticed as a Sith, is selected by his masters for a secret mission?a mission concerning the Emperor himself and a threat to the Dark Lord?s thousand-year plan. Doomed if he fails, expendable if he succeeds, Teneb must unravel the schemes at work around him if he is to seize control of his destiny and alter the course of history.
